NAFDAC NIGERIA1 year ago

Traders in the market have accused NAFDAC of targeting non-drug sections during the operation. However, intelligence led the agency to search these areas, revealing large quantities of illicit pharmaceuticals. Heightened security measures were necessary due to a past incident...

NAFDAC NIGERIA1 year ago

...three years ago when NAFDAC officials and police officers were attacked and narrowly escaped death while conducting a similar raid. Without the support of the National Security Adviser (NSA), the progress made in this operation would not have been possible.

The ongoing exercise has so far led to the discovery of illicit drugs worth billions of naira. The market, comprising multiple buildings and shops, operates as a hub for repackaging and revalidating expired medicines under false claims, before selling to unsuspecting consumers.

Since the enforcement operation began over a week ago, NAFDAC has removed at least 10 fully loaded 40-foot trucks of fake, substandard, and adulterated drugs from the market, some falsely claiming NAFDAC approval.

Tenant Road Market where drugs are sold in Aba was closed down by NAFDAC because they found FAKE and EXPIRED drugs there Ariaria Market (Drug line) was also closed down because of FAKE and EXPIRED drugs! Eziukwu Road Market otherwise called Cemetery Market as shut down because of FAKE and EXPIRED products! Onitsha Market (Ogbo Ogwu) was shut down by NAFDAC because of FAKE and EXPIRED drugs Now guess who went to tell them in Onitsha that the "TIMING" was wrong?

PETER OBI, STOP THE HYPOCRISY They shut down fake drug markets in Anambra, yet Peter Obi did not post to condemn the numerous fake drug and fake product markets across Nigeria. After NAFDAC began taking action, Peter Obi visited the market in Anambra to say, “OH, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T HAVE SHUT THE MARKET DOWN.” Twice, 250 shops were closed in Abia Market, and markets were shut down in Anambra, 10 Trucks of fake drugs were found in Anambra . All over the country, Igbo shops are being closed down for selling fake drugs to Nigerians. BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF FAKE DRUGS AND PRODUCTS ARE BEING SOLD TO NIGERIANS, They are endangering lives; they are committing mass murder in Nigeria, and all this man cares about is the “MARKET BEING SHUT DOWN.” And this is the man who wants to be president of Nigerians while Nigerians are being K!LLED BY THESE FAKE DRUGS AND PRODUCTS BEING MANUFACTURED AND SOLD TO NIGERIANS BY IGBOS. PETER OBI, TELL YOUR PEOPLE TO STOP KILLING US. IGBOS, STOP KILLING NIGERIANS.

Loads of Labour MPs have taken drugs, and in some cases still take drugs. Keir Starmer joked about his past drug use in front of kids. But these hypocrites arrest other people's kids for the same behaviour, enforcing a failed war on drugs.

$More than ten military and private trucks have been successfully loaded from Onitsha to the NAFDAC warehouse today. Although NAFDAC officers and security forces have only completed a fraction of the operation, significant progress is being made. At the Onitsha Bridge Head plumbing section, traders have raised concerns about NAFDAC's presence in non-drug sections of the market during the operation. However, it is important to note that when NAFDAC officers and police attempted a similar operation three years ago, they were attacked and narrowly escaped death.$
